This time, I made the size small (pattern sizing is crazy sometimes- Gwen is so far out of the weight and height ranges for that size) and combined it into a single cut of each fabric, instead of treating the fronts and backs of each separately.
And it fits MUCH better than the size M does (though I’m sure she’ll grow into the first one). She is absolutely fascinated by the big buttons, though- so, if I make this again, I might just stitch the shoulders together- it slips over her head, anyway. Those are the bloomers included in the pattern, by the way- I like the pattern for them a lot.
Very cute! Sizing issues is definitely the worst part about making clothes!
And glad to hear that’s a good bloomer pattern. I’ve only done one pair of bloomers so far and really am not thrilled with how they came out. I needed to look for a different pattern.
omhosh that is just the cutest! you are making me want to learn to sew
